1. Now that you have completed your Agency Profile, you can now get your users set-up.

2. Click on the Staff tab located on the blue sidebar menu. (Click below images to view) ↳    

3. You will see your listed staff. Click on Permission Groups. You will then find a list of pre-loaded Permission Groups. These Permission Groups are the most commonly used for most users. However, agency administrators can modify these or create any number of custom Permission Groups to suite your needs. (Click below images to view) ↳

4. To create a new Permission Group, click on the blue button labeled “Add a New Group”. Once you do, a menu will pop up. You can then name the group and set the rules for that group by expanding each part of the OPS Network section (Command Center, Community Access, Extensions, Staff). Each module, extension, staff access and the Command Center allow you to set:

• Create: User can add information to the tool or module.
• Read: User can read the information.
• Update: User can update existing information.
• Delete: User can delete information.

Example: Alerts Module  – Create ✓  Read  ✓  Update ☒ Delete ☒

In this example, the user would be able to create and read an Alert but would not be authorized to update an existing Alert or delete anything in the Alert Module. 

Once you have created a Permission Group, click the white CREATE button.

To edit a Permission Group, click on the pencil icon next to the desired group and edit accordingly as described above. (Click below image to view) ↳

5. Now that you have created a Permission Group, it will appear in your Permission Groups list.↳

6. New users can register with the OPS Network and send your agency a request to join. This is the most common way you will be adding a user to your network.

 If a user sends you an invitation, you will receive a notification in the bell icon at the top of the screen and that user will appear in the Pending tab in the Staff area. Once you review the user, you can Approve or Deny access. If you approve the user, you can then set them up as a user in your network. (Click below image to view) ↳
